ARCHICAD
ARCHICAD is a professional building information modelling (BIM) software from Graphisoft, used by architects, designers and construction professionals to create 2D and 3D building models, manage project documentation, collaborate on designs, and generate construction drawings. ARCHICAD 25 is an older version of the suite that includes tools for parametric modeling, 3D visualization, library management, and integration with project workflows. However, ARCHICAD 25 does not run natively on Apple Silicon — Graphisoft introduced native Apple Silicon support starting with ARCHICAD 26 released in November 2022.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionARCHICAD 25 does not have a native Apple Silicon build; it runs on Apple Silicon Macs only under Rosetta 2 emulation. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), ARCHICAD 25 will stop launching entirely on that release and you should not rely on it beyond early 2028. The upgrade path is to move to ARCHICAD 26 or a later version, both of which ship with full native Apple Silicon support and offer significantly better performance. Visit graphisoft.com/downloads and select ARCHICAD 26 (or the latest available version) — Graphisoft makes the Apple Silicon native installer available as a separate download from the Intel version. If you are an active user of ARCHICAD 25, plan your transition now; professional CAD work requires a current, supported tool.
